Marvel Is Ready to Make Knull Happen Again

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-23 00:40:04

Since he first debuted as the big bad of Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman’s Venom run, Marvel’s been giving symbiote god Knull a bigger spotlight. Between his King in Black event, being a seasonal villain in Marvel Rivals, and his appearance in Venom: The Last Dance, it’s clear the publisher wants to put him in the same tier as Green Goblin or Thanos. Now, in its biggest move to build the baddie up yet, the publisher is giving the gooey baddie a solo story ahead of a larger event on the horizon. Sp

Travelers to Europe will soon have their fingerprints and facial data captured and verified for entering and exiting EU countries, signaling the beginning of the end for passport stamping. The new system, which the EU is calling the EES (Entry/Exit System) will kick off on Oct. 12 and will be gradually phased in across checkpoints through April 9, 2026. By April 10 of next year, the EU hopes to do away with physical passport stamping in favor of a digital biometric system that it says will make

Myocardial infarction may be an infectious disease

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-28 16:55:42

According to the recently published research, an infection may trigger myocardial infarction. Using a range of advanced methodologies, the research found that, in coronary artery disease, atherosclerotic plaques containing cholesterol may harbour a gelatinous, asymptomatic biofilm formed by bacteria over years or even decades. Dormant bacteria within the biofilm remain shielded from both the patient’s immune system and antibiotics because they cannot penetrate the biofilm matrix. A viral infect

Is Your Gut in Trouble? 5 Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

The trillions of microbes that live in your gut are likened to "little pets living inside your intestinal tract." Or at least, that's how Gail Cresci, a microbiome expert at the Cleveland Clinic, describes it. But they do far more than help digest food. They also support your immune system, regulate inflammation, and produce essential compounds like vitamins and hormones that keep your body running smoothly.

Has Perseverance found a biosignature on Mars?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-05 00:00:44

Last year, we reported on the discovery of an intriguing arrow-shaped rock on Mars by NASA's Perseverance rover. The rock contained chemical signatures and structures that could have been formed by ancient microbial life. Granted, this was not slam-dunk evidence of past life on Mars, and the results were preliminary, awaiting peer review. But it was an intriguing possibility nonetheless. Now further analysis and peer review are complete, and there is a new paper, published in the journal Nature

When the sun will literally set on what's left of the British Empire

Click to enlarge A while ago I treated you to a dissertation entitled “Does The Sun Set On The British Empire?”, and concluded that it doesn’t. The UK’s widely scattered overseas territories, sparse though they are, mean that the sun is still always shining, somewhere in the world, over British territory. The most important territories in maintaining this late-empire sunlight are the Pitcairn Islands, in the Pacific, and the British Indian Ocean Territory, in the Indian Ocean. To illustrate th

Terraton wants to be the McDonald’s of biochar

If there’s one thing McDonald’s has done for the world, it’s made starting a burger restaurant relatively straightforward. Franchisees buy into the system, and in return they get equipment, marketing, and even an operating manual. Terraton wants to bring that same model to biochar, a technology that turns agricultural waste into a carbon dioxide-sequestering fertilizer.

More than two hard disks in DOS

Investigating the rather odd behavior of the Microsoft OS/2 1.21 disk driver led me to Compaq and their EXTDISK.SYS driver. While experimenting with various setups, I realized that DOS versions older than 5.0 do not support more than two hard disks exposed by the system’s BIOS, and will in fact quite likely hang early during boot-up if there are “too many” hard disks. This seems to have been one of the many things that “everyone knew” back in the day, similar to the fact that DOS versions older
